Im planing to get a brand new xperia play R800X just to use as a gaming device, im thinking of glueing it in the open position so the flex cable doesn't get damaged when opening closing the device.
i just know the flex is the weak spot, and i don't want it failing, and i will just use it for gaming
Does this sounds too crazy?

You could just be careful with it and not slide it open like you're trying to send it into another galaxy.

I wouldn't glue it if I were you.
Apply sticky adhesive rubber feet here instead.

So it doesn't close with those applied, or for keeping the screen more separated when opening/closing?

I replaced my flex cable on my r800x. But after putting back together now my speakers sound is distorted. Hated that thing with a passion.

Have been using a R800x for 2 years with no flex cable problems sliding it open. If you just NEVER close it you will likely never have the problem. Why bother gluing it and risk screwing it up

No I disassembled my R800x 3 times and putting it back together I still have the same issue. The problem is to get to the flex you have to dissemble the whole xperia play which inclues the disassembly of the gamepad.

Its even more difficult to find a Play replacement now because of the stereo speakers which almost no phone has.

Odp: Glueing Xperia play in open position?
Just don't close it. It's not that hard. I've bought the play about 3 months after it came out (my 1st touch phone ) and I have it till this day and I've never had any problems with hardware. It's about 2 years and my play was never dismantled even tho I've got a custom firmware from about 3 days I got my phone. don't be so paranoid. Just take care of it and you'll be fine

If you want something for games you should get a PSP or psvita because there arent going to be many more games for this since its pretty old. Unless you want it for emulators then that's a good reason to get it

Hey guys, was looking for effective methods that specific XPlay owners use to clean their screen. Thanks for the info!
I've just got a specsavers glasses cloth, which works fine.
I usually use a silk piece of matter and a low-concentrated soap water. I used it for years previously on PCs and laptops now on phones...never had an issue.
I always only use microfiber cloths with good results when doing a full clean. Otherwise I usually just use the shirt I have on at the moment.
I use the micro fibre cloth or whatever from my iPhone 4, its the same as the specsaver glasses fibre cloth.
Spit and your shirt to wipe it

Actually it could help, if they broke off during normal use, you could probably take it to the carrier store and get it fixed for free.
If it fell and broke you would have to take it to a cell phone repair store.

The main problem here I suppose is that the XPlay's volume button, unlike the previous Java-based SE phones (i.e. K810i, which I previously owned), do not have the extra piece of plastic around the volume button that acts as an anti-dropping-off catch for the hole to which it fits in. It's a weird move by SE I suppose. Thinking how the rubber part easily separates from the actual volume button, I can imagine there are a lot of XPlay users who get disappointed going home to see their volume button has fallen off somewhere on the road when they were on their way home. Shame. Good thing mine fell off when me and my wife were browsing pictures of our baby in my bed. Jeez.
Hi everyone,
My wife's side cover that covers the mini usb and hdmi fell off and we do not know where. Is this something that can be replaced? Is this something that is pretty useful or will she be ok without one? Thanks
Sent from my Sony Xperia Ion using Tapatalk 2.
Personally, I have been tempted to remove mine. It's not as annoying as the one on the X10, but sometimes it gets in the way...particularly in the smart dock. Does the missing cover detract from the aesthetic appeal? I would imagine that it would be more hassle than it is worth to replace.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SONY-ERIC...ABLE-FLEX-CONNECTOR-R800-Z1-Z1i-/270850617696
I went to mobile phone repair shop for an unrelated issue with my screen and I can confirm they have these as well, or at least the shop I went to did and that was just a few months ago
If you bought your Xperia Play legit, you will probably have warranty. Our warranty covers our Xperia Plays for 2 years, this means that if our phones first came out in 2011 we most definitely still have warranty. I recently sent my phone to the Sony repair centre without a receipt, with a relocked bootloader and without a charger (they ask for this) and they still repaired my phone! Its worh a try and save £25/your time/the risk of you damaging your phone even further.
I didn't by it legit got it second hand hopefully I can go to the store and maybe they will have one
